Also speaking

I'm wondering if I can help this along by asking a question of the clerk and of you, Mr. Chair.

I don't want to anticipate what the parliamentary secretary might or might not say about this particular clause, or indeed about another amendment that he is proposing later on, but I'm wondering if it is the intention of the parliamentary secretary to actually reintroduce that same amendment later on in the bill. If that is his intention, I'm wondering if it would then be in order for him to amend his amendment by simply saying that we move clause 2 to wherever it is that he wants to put it.

I apologize, Mr. Chair. I've been running around on this bill, and I want to....

My constituents thank you for last week, Mr. Volpe, when I stayed in town to try to solve this particular issue of Bill C-511.

My understanding is that if clause 2 is defeated, then we are able to take the PEDAL Act, in essence, or what Mr. Volpe has proposed, and put it into the MVSA, and use the enforcement provisions in the MVSA. Is that fair to say?

So what we need to do is vote on this particular clause and defeat it.

But what I'm saying to the committee is that if they do not want the clause to stand as it is because the amendment is out of order, then they should defeat the entire clause. Whether you're addressing the issue further in the bill will come up for discussion, but it's not up to me to give advice on a clause or an amendment that hasn't been presented--
